Advice, information & guidance

Sahir House can help identify difficulties you are experiencing to enable you to live well and independently with HIV. This may include dealing with discrimination, worries about confidentiality, disclosure and the law, attending hospital appointments, getting your voice heard, attending medicals, benefit assessments, concerns about work, signposting to other services such as housing, legal or health and social care providers. Support is free and confidential. For more information contact the Services Manager.

Sahir House has an agreement with the DWP to support people living with HIV into employment and help with welfare benefits. For many people after being out of work, the experience of signing on and looking for work is daunting and stressful especially if facing stigma which can exacerbate HIV related health conditions. Contact Pam Smith for a copy of the commitment statement to give to your DWP benefits advisor.
